Once again the mainstream media’s explanation for an important revelation might be lacking. However, that explanation is really just a translation of research from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

“While a small amount of mercury is naturally present in the environment, it’s the mercury emitted primarily from coal-powered plants that has found its way into the oceans.

From there, the mercury rides funnels of water that are created by winds and gets to the surface in a process known as upwelling. Then the mercury — in a form called methylmercury — is sucked up from the ocean into fog, which rolls over the coast.”
